To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In fact, I look upon a library as a kind of mental chemist's shop, filled with the crystals of all forms and hues which have come from the union of individual thought with local circumstances or universal principles. When a man has worked out his special aflBnities in this way, there is an end of his genius as a real solvent. No more effer- [ 29 ] HOLMES vescence and hissing tumult as he pours his sharp thought on the world's biting alkaline unbeliefs." The Autocrat was asked by one of the boar...ders whether he did n't "read up" for his talks at the breakfast-table. "No, that is the last thing I would do. . . . Talk about those subjects you have had long in your mind. . . .
Knowledge and timber should n't be much used till they are seasoned." It is the impression of seasoned thought which comes as we read sentences which em- body the results of a long experience. "The Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table" was not easy to write; no good book is. The writer who is unusually fluent should take warning from the instructions which accompany his fountain-pen : When this pen flows too freely it is a sign that it is nearly empty and should be filled.
